Anna Taylor-Joy made her feature acting debut in Robert Eggers‘ The Witch before going on to starring in many high-profile movies such as The Queen’s Gambit. Now, Taylor-Joy is reuniting with the incredible director for his remake of the iconic 1922 vampire film Nosferatu. The original Nosferatu (there was a remake in 1979) was directed by F.W. Murnau and follows vampire Count Orlok who aims to buy a house in Germany. The vampire soon falls in love with the wife of his real estate agent.

Which was freakin’ awesome. Because it was not [an amputee role before] in any way. That, to me, was a real turning
